Portrait is the most luring part of photography...Foe example flaws in an individual's face can be accentuated, if not cared for,, it is therefore, pertinent for the subject to be in good getup of MAKE-UP. Appropriate make up can transform a model to give the required face-lift. This will also help disguise greasy and shiny faces and help them make non-reflective.Unkempt finger-nails and messy hair will also need attention, i

Sunil Paul---At a programme in my town(post no.126).

It is a pleasure to photograph a celebrity like Sunil Paul, who recently visited our town in a programme. I had my compact in my pocket, went out to the stage and angled the camera towards him....He immediately snapped...'oh uncle aap photo kheench rahe hain'...I retorted...'I am a big fan of u and watch u on TV'....He felt rather obliged and said ''thank u, thank u'' and carried on his programme.

IN SUCH PROGRAMMES, THE LIGHTS ARE FIXED VERY judiciously to highlight the artist and his surroundings....Here the spotlight at his left was nicely making a kick light and detatching him out of the background....Showing the guy behind was also important to let people know that there was a team accompanying Sunil Paul...

I hv taken several photographs of celebs, who were available to me. I mean without camera, I had not gone in any celebs programme, better stay at home. My first priority was to photograph the artist then give attention to his performance. 'He does his work and I mine' was my motto. Even I paid for tickets, but camera shd hang on my shoulder.

As the light at Sunil Paul's right face was low, as it looks here in correct exposure, I had to increase the ISO to 200, as I shoot on compact at its minimum. Raising camera above was also a problem of shake but I managed with the shutter speed at 1/30 and aperture f3.5 as I zoomed slightly. I took 3-4 shots as he changed his mood always differently. This was a good one, when he stopped awhile..............This can come under category ''portraiture'', as u hv some chance of cropping or if hv a stable support, zoom more and take individual shot.

About Me

The art of photography is all about light and exposure....LIGHT means the surroundings around you and exposure denote the use of Camera, may be of any kind,sorry, here film and digital compact, prosumer, or DSLRs.It is day light, with sun, clouds, shades under tree, verandah,shadow beside a wall.It is night with darkness but with lots of hopes in lighted areas anywhere,fireworks...the choice is urs to exploit above to the best in simple or pictorial terms...A little bit to remind you of finding out good angles, giving correct exposure with the source of light before you to avoid disappoints...Oh...no disappointments...You have to check easily on LCDs the result immediately and change settings accordingly for the best in front of your camera. Next there is no limitation in memory cards. With good number of memory cards with you, thousands of pictures can be shot. THERE is the best friend in COMPUTER to load and check, retain, delete,correct images as per your liking, storing them in CDs/DVDs....Having few prints hanging on your wall to let you know of your art.
